Welcome to the Mount Tom House: a uniquely charming getaway experience decidedly standing apart from your common vacation rental. The story of Mount Tom House begins with a group of friends in their 20s helping one another raise kids and build homes. 50 years later, community and camaraderie gets at the heart of what we hope to provide!
Come for the 200 acres + trails to explore, the 2-story library, the workout room + seasonal pool, and launch pad from which to explore the Willamette Valley. We operate as a bed and breakfast for part of the year (think a staffed hotel experience) and a standard home rental for the other part. Read on to learn more!

If you are interested in learning more about event pricing and the services we offer, please send us a message with dates, # of guests, and your vision for the event. Hosting events at Mount Tom House will include additional fees. If you're seeking to ball on a budget, we totally respect that, however we are probably not the place for you.
CERTIFICATION:
We are a licensed and certified bed and breakfast by the state and county. What does that mean? The property has been approved to operate as a business and undergoes routine inspections: our T's are crossed and our I's are dotted. We aim to provide the hospitality you expect from a VRBO while also providing the professionalism expected of a business.
